SUMMARY:Art at Work
DESCRIPTION:This mid-year session invites artists and creative business owners to take a thoughtful\, practical look at how they price their work—and why it matters. \nPricing is one of the most challenging and often overlooked parts of a creative practice. It’s tied not only to sustainability\, but to confidence\, clarity\, and how your work is valued in the market. This session is designed to help artists step back\, reassess\, and move forward with a stronger\, more intentional approach. \nTogether\, we’ll explore how to: \n\nEvaluate current pricing and identify where adjustments may be needed\nUnderstand the true cost of your time\, materials\, and expertise\nAlign pricing with your goals\, audience\, and positioning\nCommunicate your prices clearly and confidently\nNavigate common pricing challenges and mindset barrier\n\nParticipants will leave with practical tools and frameworks they can apply immediately\, along with space to reflect on what feels sustainable for their individual practice. \nWhether you’re refining your current approach or starting from scratch\, this session is an opportunity to reset\, recalibrate\, and build a pricing strategy that supports both your creativity and your livelihood. \nSpeaker: Lauren Smith-Petta\, Senior Director of Education Services\, JumpStart\, Inc. \nLauren Smith-Petta is an artist\, entrepreneur\, and entrepreneurship educator based in Cleveland whose creative practice is intentionally interdisciplinary.
